Excise duty is levied on certain goods manufactured or produced in Australia. These goods include:

·     petroleum products and non-petroleum based fuels

·     tobacco products

·     alcohol products (excluding wine which is subject to the wine equalisation tax).

Excise duty is levied on onshore stabilised crude petroleum oil and condensate production, and offshore stabilised crude petroleum oil and condensate production from fields within the North West Shelf Project area. Crude oil and condensate from offshore areas located outside the North West Shelf Project area are subject to petroleum resource rent tax.

Excise duty on stabilised crude petroleum oil and condensate is linked to the sale price of the product. The excise liability is calculated based on the volume weighted average realised (VOLWARE) price, the marginal excise rates applied to progressive production and the quantity produced.

Excise duties applied to tobacco and alcohol are subject to indexation in February and August each year, in line with upward movements in the consumer price index. Indexation is not applied to petroleum products, non-petroleum based fuels or oils and greases.

For the purpose of this publication, excise revenue is recorded when the products are delivered for home consumption. The time difference between liabilities raised and the receipt of payment for most excisable products is up to one week. For stabilised crude oil and condensate, payment is made on or before the last working day of the month following the month in which it was sold.
